In a time when echoes of freedom have started reverberating through the streets of colonial India,\nThe Zamindar, the Rebel and the Revolutionary unfolds as a saga of a Bengali Brahmin landlord\nfamily’s relentless pursuit of a sovereign India.\n\nIn the 1880s, Keshav, the zamindar of Madaripur, near Dhaka, challenges oppressive societal norms\nwhile wielding his printing press as a weapon to empower revolutionaries fighting for the nation.\nHis son Mukund is determined to continue this legacy, but a treacherous marriage agreement forces\nhim into the role of ghar jamai, shackling his ambitions.\n\nJust as Mukund escapes his in-laws’ machinations, an attack on their estate threatens to obliterate\neverything they cherish. Undeterred, Mukund revives Keshav’s printing business to rebuild their\nlives and fuel the national cause.\n\nIn the early 20th century, Mukund’s son Aneek joins Calcutta’s underground armed movement,\ntaking up the mantle of resistance.\n\nThrough this polyphonic narrative, Jyotiska Ganguly weaves together the lives of three generations\nof a family, exploring the enduring forces of love, resilience and revolution against a backdrop of\nviolence, betrayal, caste prejudice and the fervent struggle for India’s independence.
